Intro
B G#m E F# B G#m E F#
WE WE WE WE WE WE WE WE
VERSE:
B G#m
We met in fancy dress,
E F#
That's how it was to be
B G#m
But I never was prepared to cope
E F#
With all your idiosyncracies
B G#m
And in the cold light of the day,
E F#
Things don't always look the same
B G#m
I wondered were you really ill
E F#
Or did you always look that way
CHORUS:
G#m F#
It was here in the outer limits
E D#
It was oh, such a long, long time ago
G#m F#
I was so happy, happy in the outer limits
E D#
I just never wanted to go!
VERSE:
B G#m
What she collected in glass jars,
E F#
that was all of her and not mine
B G#m
Because she spent all of her evenings,
E F#
and the rest of us were tight
B G#m
Her strange habits, her strange hobbies
E F#
made strange noises in the night
B G#m
Ooh, I guess I knew, all along,
E F#
something wasn't right
CHORUS:
G#m F#
It was here in the outer limits
E D#
It was oh, such a long, long time ago
G#m F#
I was so happy, happy in the outer limits
E D# G#m F# E D#
I just never wanted to go, oh!

BRIDGE:
C#m
I asked her to change her ways
F#
She wouldn't even try
E
I used to always tell her
G#m
Look, I'm just an ordinary guy
C#m
But then they caught her,
They questioned me,
F#
I had to testify
E
But I used to always tell
D#
I'm just a regular guy,
G#m F# E D# G#m
No, Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
OUTRO:
F#
Please, don't take me away!
E
No! I didn't know what she was!
D#m
I didn't know who she was!
G#m
I only loved her....
NOTE: This is Probably NOT in the exact same tuning
that they play the song in. Their guitars
are probably tuned a little different
then standard tuning. This works for me
